7:23pm: Royals will need to chase 209, then. Lubbe got Malan early, but it was all Sunrisers after that. Abell batted superbly for his 46. Hermann stuck around for long enough. Stubbs was superb at the end. But Marco Jansen, promoted to 4, stole the show with a sensational 71 off just 31 balls. This is a slow track, it's not easy to get away the big shots if the bowlers hit back of a length consistently but the Royals lost the plot at the death again, giving too many boundary opportunities to the Sunrisers. This is going to be a tough chase, we'll be back in a bit for it.

Cricfan: "The label of ' Bowling Allrounder ' really does a great amount of injustice to Jansen's batting capabilities."

Declan: "20 runs in wides and no-balls,...very poor from PR."

DaWolf: "They were 142 after 17. Damn that's an insane finish."

CricDude: "Is this the worst last 3 overs in a T20? " -- It was very poor from the Royals

Ngidi to Jansen, FOUR, Slower ball, dips on Jansen, but he gets enough bat on it to glance it behind square on the legside! 89 off the last 5 overs. Humongous!

Ngidi to Jansen, FOUR, full and just outside off, Jansen moves across, and jabs this one down the ground and splits long-on and long-off with precision

Ngidi to Jansen, 1 wide, Another extra! Full and way too wide from Ngidi. This time it finally lands outside the cut strip but only past the stumps! So it's not a no-ball. Sunrisers bring up 200 as well!

Ngidi to Jansen, 1 wide, length ball, way outside off, Jansen lets it go, fourth wide of the over

Ngidi to Jansen, 2 runs, Pace on this time, full and wide, Jansen moves across, digs it out to long-on. It was straight to Vilas in the deep, but Stubbs hares back for a second, and pushes Jansen through as well
19.3

Ngidi to Jansen, 2 runs, slower, full and wide, Janse looks to belt it straight again, but only gets elevation as the ball eventually plonks in the outfield just around the 30-yard circle. They sprint back for a second, and even though Ngidi managed a direct hit, Stubbs's speed across the turf ensures he's safe with that one

Ngidi to Jansen, no run, Finally gets a legal delivery in, ful and just outside off, slower ball which dips on Jansen and deceives him, he gets beaten
19.2
1w
Ngidi to Jansen, 1 wide, Another wide! Slower ball on a length, and it's way too far outside off, even though Jansen had moved across a bit to the offside

1w
Ngidi to Jansen, 1 wide, pace on, full ball, but sends it way down leg. Jansen moves across to the offside but lets this one go through to Buttler way down leg
19.2
1w
Ngidi to Jansen, 1 wide, slower ball, a bit too short, and that's once again landed just inside the cut strip! It's a wide, but mighty close to a no-ball. Ngidi's a lucky boy
19.1

Ngidi to Jansen, SIX, Bam! slower ball, but fuller length, angling across Jansen from around the wicket, so Jansen moves across, gets down on one knee, and then mows it over cow corner for a superb start to the 20th for the Sunrisers
